Simulating the effect of feeding time and frequency on gut transit and digestibility in gilthead seabream and Senegalese sole juveniles

Trabajo presentado en Aquaculture Europe 19 (Our future, growing from water), celebrado en Berlín del 7 al 10 de octubre de 2019.Understanding the factors that affect the digestion processes in fish is essential to ensure an efficient and sustainable aquaculture, given the large effect that impaired digestion can have on all downstream indicators (growth, conversion efficienc , environmental impact). In this presentation, we discuss the results of simulating the digestive processes of gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) and Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) under different feeding protocols, using a mathematical model developed for Ballan wrasse and calibrated for these species using ground-truth observations from a recent study by Gilannejad et al..Projects AGL2014-52888-R from MINECO (Spain) with FEDER/ERDF contribution, and WISEFEED funded by the European Union’s H2020 programme (Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant No 691150).
